About this song: The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde
According to the The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde Songfacts, the song is about the real-life Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, a famous bank-robbing couple in the Great Depression era of the United States. Despite the boy-meets-girl cuteness of a crime-spree couple, their outlaw exploits are not to be dismissed lightly; they led a gang, robbed about a dozen banks, knocked off many small stores, killed nine police officers, and also shot a few civilians.
